Sensory Bins

Simply one of the easiest activity ideas!

Children love to explore sensory bins* or tubs! For this one, I used~

• a baking pan

• rice

• magnetic letters

• plastic tongs * helps to promote finger gripping strength and dexterity

Combine the rice and letters. “Play” together! Talk about the letter. What is its name? Let’s find something that begins with this letter!

Talk, talk, talk!

* Supervise small children and add age appropriate items to the bin.

 

Magnetic Letters and Numbers

CAT, BAT, RAT!  Another fun activity for little learners is to put a basket filled with magnetic letters and numerals onto a table.  When we play with our letters and numbers we place them onto a magnetic cookie sheet to contain them.  Let the children “free” play with the letters and numbers.*

* Adult Supervision Required!

Ask them to find,

– the letter A…

Magnetic Letters and Numbers

Magnetic Letters and Numbers

– the letters in their name

– a number that represents their age

We purchased our magnetic letters and numbers at the Dollar Store for practically a song!
